Kelsey wrote alongside the footage: “One thing that did go well today is that we finally got Tom’s plaque on our family bench.

“We created this place for my Uncle Neil who sadly died 16 years ago today, also to cancer (F you cancer!) at the age of 35.

“We have loved coming here to remember him, honour him, think about our precious memories with him so making this Tom’s space too just felt so right.”

She added: “To have somewhere that me and our kids can come to for Tom means the world and I wanted to share it with all of you.”
